Yeah; was 268lbs (and even heavier than that at certain points in my life maybe even 280-290). Down to 168
I bought a food scale to gain a better understanding of portion sizes and it was pretty eye opening to see how small servings of things actually are. For the most part I was way, WAY underestimating actual serving sizes. And there's data that proves even the most adamant and knowledgeable people like nutritionists and dieticians can't even accurately assess their portions and overshoot / undershoot by as much as 10-20% if they aren't using an actual scale. If they're doing that how bad was I? For example I had been using like 4-5 servings of cheese when I thought it was more like 1-2. It's pretty amazing how little cheese is actually in a serving vs how much we use. But now I only really use it for meat, and I realize it's pretty obsessive and ridiculous and it's kind of more of a joke in here because for a couple of months I pretty much typed the weight of everything I ate and it seemed to bug people lol

This is what 120 calories of low fat ice cream looks like. If you were to go by the container, and use volume say "a half cup" you could easily put in twice as much. Or you want to use a "tablespoon" of olive oil, and pull out your actual tablespoon and use that, you might be overshooting the actual serving size weight by about 40%. Every little bit counts when you're trying to make weight loss progress
Same goes for dry ingredients like cereal, other stuff. It's amazing how much packaging lies to you. Let's say you eat an entire bag of doritos and you think it's 2000 calories for example; if you actually weighed it you'd find it out it might've been 2300 because most of the time they give you more
